To Ms. Rush and the Campbell Family,The name Campbell must mean spirited.

We have a retired Coach Campbell in our city that not only won many state championships himself in high school and college but, also coached Roosevelt High School's Track Team to nine state championships. Motivation was crucial to those young men winning. Our Coach Campbell must be related to Milt. I am so sorry for your loss. As a young girl there was a lot of pride in the city of Gary, Indiana when Campbell made his triumph. May the Lord continue to carry you in this time of saddness. Milt Campbell will forever be in many of our memories in Gary, Indiana.

He also told all of us kids (7) that he ran track with you in high school, and you broke just about every record that needed to be broken and you always left him and the rest of the team in the dust. Rest in Peace Mr. Campbell, your time on earth is now called a legend.
